AMOUNTS OF VITAMIN A, VITAMIN E, VITAMIN C, Β-CAROTENE, LYCOPENE, GHRELIN, GLUTATHIONE, AND MDA IN FRUITS OF DIOSPYROS KAKI L
Abstract
In this study, the amounts of vitamins A, E, C, β-carotene, lycopene, ghrelin, reduced and oxidized form of glutathione (GSH, GSSG) with malondialdehyde (MDA) in ripe fruits of Diospyros kaki L. plant were determined by using HPLC. The amount of vitamins A, E, C, β-carotene, lycopene, ghrelin, GSH, GSSG and MDA in Diospyros kaki L. plant were found to be 0.40±0.06 – 0.92±0.08; 0.63±0.09 - 1.34±0.14; 47.00±0.80 - 65.61±1.56; 2.08±0.18 - 3.36±0.30; 0.69±0.08 - 1.42±0.13; 2.14±0.65 - 7.98±1.06; 398.25±34.23 - 527.90±23.36; 23.67±8.89 - 42.43±4.81 and 5.63±0.35 - 7.28±0.42 µg/g, respectively. It can be said that Diospyros kaki L. plant fruits are a good source of vitamin C, lycopene, ghrelin and glutathione. Findings suggest that the fruit of this plant may be a useful source of antioxidants. Differences in the amount of parameters in the Diospyros kaki L. fruit are thought to be due to the growth medium, climate, and environmental conditions.
